Yes I had it forwarding to the first serial port on my computer. I don't have the vmware image anymore as I was making it for a friend but what I ended up doing was to install using the braille lite as a braille display with brltty and after debian was installed I used ssh to install the2.6.25-2 kernel and the speakup modules for it using aptitude. After that speakup worked fine with the braille lite.
